create: interview (what the project is, conventions, boundaries), author a tight AGENTS.md, render the component section viasync-agents-md, evaluate.improve: sync the component list to disk and trim redundancy / non-essential prohibitions.
The bar
Section titled “The bar”- Sections: what-this-is, current-state, conventions, build/test/lint, where-to-look.
- Brevity is a feature: verbose, generated-looking context files measurably reduce agent task success and raise cost; prefer positive instructions over long “do not” lists.
- Keep the component section in sync with
library.jsonvianode scripts/generators/sync-agents-md.mjs(no hand-edit drift).
